Wildfire

[anirbas]

I am the living
incarnation of destruction
in full egress and progress
High winds and dry conditions
are my best friends

Why, you could call them
my bosom buddies-
my partners in crime

But, make no mistake
I am the star
For I am, wildfire

And I live I breathe
to bring the harm
bring the pain
bring the loss
of financial gain

From a mere blue spark
arcing from passing
railroad cars;
a haphazardly lit
and thrown cigarette
or firecracker;
I may be given life
given birth

I love it when you disobey
the county to county burning ban
Your idiocy is my other friend

For I am the living incarnation of destruction
I am a fire storm I am wildfire
And the eating of you and yours for fodder
from that pastime I will never tire

[sergosa]

Violent fire, violent feelings, violent poem!
And very clever.
I like it very much!
Exalt.
Sergosa.

This summer's horrendous fires throughout California and parts of Texas
reminded me of this piece I wrote, what feels like, twenty-thousand
years ago, now.

Bad enough when wildfires are set off due to random sparks;
or accidentally due to human error or out right stupidity.
Unforgivable when these fires are set deliberately.
What kind of mind wakes up one morning and says to itself:
"Today is the day I go out and start fires. I want to be
responsible for loss of animal and human life and major
destruction of an infinite area." What kind of mind???
